.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This page documents the internal functions used by the OpenSSL
\&\fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR implementation. They are described here to facilitate
debugging and extending the library. They are \fInot\fR to be used by
applications.
.Sh "The \s-1BIGNUM\s0 structure"
.IX Subsection "The BIGNUM structure"

\& typedef struct bignum_st
\&        {
\&        int top;      /* number of words used in d */
\&        BN_ULONG *d;  /* pointer to an array containing the integer value */

.PP
The integer value is stored in \fBd\fR, a \fImalloc()\fRed array of words (\fB\s-1BN_ULONG\s0\fR),
least significant word first. A \fB\s-1BN_ULONG\s0\fR can be either 16, 32 or 64 bits
in size, depending on the 'number of bits' (\fB\s-1BITS2\s0\fR) specified in
\&\f(CW\*(C`openssl/bn.h\*(C'\fR.
.PP
\&\fBmax\fR is the size of the \fBd\fR array that has been allocated.  \fBtop\fR
is the number of words being used, so for a value of 4, bn.d[0]=4 and
bn.top=1.  \fBneg\fR is 1 if the number is negative.  When a \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR is
\&\fB0\fR, the \fBd\fR field can be \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR and \fBtop\fR == \fB0\fR.
.PP
Various routines in this library require the use of temporary
\&\fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR variables during their execution.  Since dynamic memory
allocation to create \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fRs is rather expensive when used in
conjunction with repeated subroutine calls, the \fB\s-1BN_CTX\s0\fR structure is
used.  This structure contains \fB\s-1BN_CTX_NUM\s0\fR \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fRs, see
\&\fIBN_CTX_start\fR\|(3).
.Sh "Low-level arithmetic operations"
.IX Subsection "Low-level arithmetic operations"
These functions are implemented in C and for several platforms in
assembly language:
.PP
bn_mul_words(\fBrp\fR, \fBap\fR, \fBnum\fR, \fBw\fR) operates on the \fBnum\fR word
arrays \fBrp\fR and \fBap\fR.  It computes \fBap\fR * \fBw\fR, places the result
in \fBrp\fR, and returns the high word (carry).
.PP
bn_mul_add_words(\fBrp\fR, \fBap\fR, \fBnum\fR, \fBw\fR) operates on the \fBnum\fR
word arrays \fBrp\fR and \fBap\fR.  It computes \fBap\fR * \fBw\fR + \fBrp\fR, places
the result in \fBrp\fR, and returns the high word (carry).
.PP
bn_sqr_words(\fBrp\fR, \fBap\fR, \fBn\fR) operates on the \fBnum\fR word array
\&\fBap\fR and the 2*\fBnum\fR word array \fBap\fR.  It computes \fBap\fR * \fBap\fR
word-wise, and places the low and high bytes of the result in \fBrp\fR.
.PP
bn_div_words(\fBh\fR, \fBl\fR, \fBd\fR) divides the two word number (\fBh\fR,\fBl\fR)
by \fBd\fR and returns the result.
.PP
bn_add_words(\fBrp\fR, \fBap\fR, \fBbp\fR, \fBnum\fR) operates on the \fBnum\fR word
arrays \fBap\fR, \fBbp\fR and \fBrp\fR.  It computes \fBap\fR + \fBbp\fR, places the
result in \fBrp\fR, and returns the high word (carry).
.PP
bn_sub_words(\fBrp\fR, \fBap\fR, \fBbp\fR, \fBnum\fR) operates on the \fBnum\fR word
arrays \fBap\fR, \fBbp\fR and \fBrp\fR.  It computes \fBap\fR \- \fBbp\fR, places the
result in \fBrp\fR, and returns the carry (1 if \fBbp\fR > \fBap\fR, 0
otherwise).
.PP
bn_mul_comba4(\fBr\fR, \fBa\fR, \fBb\fR) operates on the 4 word arrays \fBa\fR and
\&\fBb\fR and the 8 word array \fBr\fR.  It computes \fBa\fR*\fBb\fR and places the
result in \fBr\fR.
.PP
bn_mul_comba8(\fBr\fR, \fBa\fR, \fBb\fR) operates on the 8 word arrays \fBa\fR and
\&\fBb\fR and the 16 word array \fBr\fR.  It computes \fBa\fR*\fBb\fR and places the
result in \fBr\fR.
.PP
bn_sqr_comba4(\fBr\fR, \fBa\fR, \fBb\fR) operates on the 4 word arrays \fBa\fR and
\&\fBb\fR and the 8 word array \fBr\fR.
.PP
bn_sqr_comba8(\fBr\fR, \fBa\fR, \fBb\fR) operates on the 8 word arrays \fBa\fR and
\&\fBb\fR and the 16 word array \fBr\fR.
.PP
The following functions are implemented in C:
.PP
bn_cmp_words(\fBa\fR, \fBb\fR, \fBn\fR) operates on the \fBn\fR word arrays \fBa\fR
and \fBb\fR.  It returns 1, 0 and \-1 if \fBa\fR is greater than, equal and
less than \fBb\fR.
.PP
bn_mul_normal(\fBr\fR, \fBa\fR, \fBna\fR, \fBb\fR, \fBnb\fR) operates on the \fBna\fR
word array \fBa\fR, the \fBnb\fR word array \fBb\fR and the \fBna\fR+\fBnb\fR word
array \fBr\fR.  It computes \fBa\fR*\fBb\fR and places the result in \fBr\fR.
.PP
bn_mul_low_normal(\fBr\fR, \fBa\fR, \fBb\fR, \fBn\fR) operates on the \fBn\fR word
arrays \fBr\fR, \fBa\fR and \fBb\fR.  It computes the \fBn\fR low words of
\&\fBa\fR*\fBb\fR and places the result in \fBr\fR.
.PP
bn_mul_recursive(\fBr\fR, \fBa\fR, \fBb\fR, \fBn2\fR, \fBdna\fR, \fBdnb\fR, \fBt\fR) operates
on the word arrays \fBa\fR and \fBb\fR of length \fBn2\fR+\fBdna\fR and \fBn2\fR+\fBdnb\fR
(\fBdna\fR and \fBdnb\fR are currently allowed to be 0 or negative) and the 2*\fBn2\fR
word arrays \fBr\fR and \fBt\fR.  \fBn2\fR must be a power of 2.  It computes
\&\fBa\fR*\fBb\fR and places the result in \fBr\fR.
.PP
bn_mul_part_recursive(\fBr\fR, \fBa\fR, \fBb\fR, \fBn\fR, \fBtna\fR, \fBtnb\fR, \fBtmp\fR)
operates on the word arrays \fBa\fR and \fBb\fR of length \fBn\fR+\fBtna\fR and
\&\fBn\fR+\fBtnb\fR and the 4*\fBn\fR word arrays \fBr\fR and \fBtmp\fR.
.PP
bn_mul_low_recursive(\fBr\fR, \fBa\fR, \fBb\fR, \fBn2\fR, \fBtmp\fR) operates on the
\&\fBn2\fR word arrays \fBr\fR and \fBtmp\fR and the \fBn2\fR/2 word arrays \fBa\fR
and \fBb\fR.
.PP
bn_mul_high(\fBr\fR, \fBa\fR, \fBb\fR, \fBl\fR, \fBn2\fR, \fBtmp\fR) operates on the
\&\fBn2\fR word arrays \fBr\fR, \fBa\fR, \fBb\fR and \fBl\fR (?) and the 3*\fBn2\fR word
array \fBtmp\fR.
.PP
\&\fIBN_mul()\fR calls \fIbn_mul_normal()\fR, or an optimized implementation if the
factors have the same size: \fIbn_mul_comba8()\fR is used if they are 8
words long, \fIbn_mul_recursive()\fR if they are larger than
\&\fB\s-1BN_MULL_SIZE_NORMAL\s0\fR and the size is an exact multiple of the word
size, and \fIbn_mul_part_recursive()\fR for others that are larger than
\&\fB\s-1BN_MULL_SIZE_NORMAL\s0\fR.
.PP
bn_sqr_normal(\fBr\fR, \fBa\fR, \fBn\fR, \fBtmp\fR) operates on the \fBn\fR word array
\&\fBa\fR and the 2*\fBn\fR word arrays \fBtmp\fR and \fBr\fR.
.PP
The implementations use the following macros which, depending on the
architecture, may use \*(L"long long\*(R" C operations or inline assembler.
They are defined in \f(CW\*(C`bn_lcl.h\*(C'\fR.
.PP
mul(\fBr\fR, \fBa\fR, \fBw\fR, \fBc\fR) computes \fBw\fR*\fBa\fR+\fBc\fR and places the
low word of the result in \fBr\fR and the high word in \fBc\fR.
.PP
mul_add(\fBr\fR, \fBa\fR, \fBw\fR, \fBc\fR) computes \fBw\fR*\fBa\fR+\fBr\fR+\fBc\fR and
places the low word of the result in \fBr\fR and the high word in \fBc\fR.
.PP
sqr(\fBr0\fR, \fBr1\fR, \fBa\fR) computes \fBa\fR*\fBa\fR and places the low word
of the result in \fBr0\fR and the high word in \fBr1\fR.
.Sh "Size changes"
.IX Subsection "Size changes"
\&\fIbn_expand()\fR ensures that \fBb\fR has enough space for a \fBbits\fR bit
number.  \fIbn_wexpand()\fR ensures that \fBb\fR has enough space for an
\&\fBn\fR word number.  If the number has to be expanded, both macros
call \fIbn_expand2()\fR, which allocates a new \fBd\fR array and copies the
data.  They return \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR on error, \fBb\fR otherwise.
.PP
The \fIbn_fix_top()\fR macro reduces \fBa\->top\fR to point to the most
significant non-zero word plus one when \fBa\fR has shrunk.
.Sh "Debugging"
.IX Subsection "Debugging"
\&\fIbn_check_top()\fR verifies that \f(CW\*(C`((a)\->top >= 0 && (a)\->top
<= (a)\->max)\*(C'\fR.  A violation will cause the program to abort.
.PP
\&\fIbn_print()\fR prints \fBa\fR to stderr. \fIbn_dump()\fR prints \fBn\fR words at \fBd\fR
(in reverse order, i.e. most significant word first) to stderr.
.PP
\&\fIbn_set_max()\fR makes \fBa\fR a static number with a \fBmax\fR of its current size.
This is used by \fIbn_set_low()\fR and \fIbn_set_high()\fR to make \fBr\fR a read-only
\&\fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR that contains the \fBn\fR low or high words of \fBa\fR.
.PP
If \fB\s-1BN_DEBUG\s0\fR is not defined, \fIbn_check_top()\fR, \fIbn_print()\fR, \fIbn_dump()\fR
and \fIbn_set_max()\fR are defined as empty macros.
